Wellspot Location Details

A smoke-free policy bans smoking of any kind on the property, including but not limited to: cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and electronic cigarettes. The policy should cover the entire property. A smoke-free policy is a great first step toward gradually shifting to a tobacco-free environment.

This WellSpot has implemented a smoke-free policy.

Tobacco-Free Site

The foundation for WellSpot designation is centered on tobacco-free environments. A tobacco-free policy prohibits use of all tobacco products on an organization’s property. This includes tobacco in all forms, as well as any type of smoking device.

This WellSpot offers tobacco cessation coverage as part of its health plan.

Promotion of LA Tobacco Quitline

Promotion of cessation services available in the state is key to assisting individuals in their attempt to quit. It is important to make these services known so tobacco users know where to go to get help in their quit attempts.

This WellSpot has met all the requirements regarding promotion of the LA Tobacco Quitline.

Worksite Wellness – Beginning Implementation

Worksite Wellness is a major component of WellSpot designation criteria. Changing the culture of health in the workplace through worksite wellness programming has a multitude of benefits for both employees and employers. The “Beginning Implementation” phase of a Worksite Wellness Program includes obtaining support from management, designating staff members to lead the program, and planning employee evaluations to build a foundation for the program.

Smart Snacks

School WellSpots should follow USDA’s Smart Snacks policy that requires all foods sold during the school day to meet nutrition standards. This includes fundraisers, school parties and any other foods consumed during school hours.

School WellSpots are encouraged to make school breakfast accessible for all students, even if they are tardy to school. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and has a major impact on a student’s ability to focus on their schoolwork. Schools are encouraged to explore alternative solutions for late arrivers to eat breakfast.

This WellSpot allows all students to eat breakfast, regardless of their tardiness to school.

30 Minute Lunches

Research shows that students who are given sufficient meal time are more likely to eat healthier options on their plates. School WellSpots are encouraged to allow 30 minutes for students to eat lunch, thereby increasing the chances that those students will consume healthy foods.

This WellSpot allows students to have a 30 minute lunch period.

20 Minutes of Physical Activity
